A lot of people were expecting a “significant correction” in house prices in 2007, 2008, 2009…

I don’t know about where you live, but prices have fallen by about 25K on a £125,000 house in our part of Derbyshire. That seems significant to me.

I’ve noticed quite a lot of price reductions on primelocation recently.
The estate agent says that the economic recovery seems to be ‘dragging’, which is a funny turn of phrase. He seems to be expecting a bounce back to pre-crunch levels of activity.

“And David Smith, a partner at estate agents Carter Jonas, warned: “There is every chance prices will fall back in the second half of the year”
How does he work that out when prices just fell 1% in February, what a plonker!

@ 1. cornishman
To be fair prices did start falling from the summer of 2007 and we did have a significant correction in 2008. It’s just that a sellers strike together with government stimuli on a level never ever seen before in this country’s history managed to stop (and partially reverse) this correction in 2009.

need-a-crash – I kind of agree… We have had a crash, but govt intervention meant it was in every currency except sterling. Once we have had the next leg down we’ll have half the country in negative equity AND a currency worth fack all!
taffee says:
we have not had a crash……house prices in japan(the only comparrison to today’s scenario) fell for the last 17 years….house prices are based on salarys of people who need housing to live in…investors quickly disappear when assets are falling

Perhaps it’s not so desirable around your neck of the woods Dilly.
It’s positively spring time in my garden.
